Cayce Cove - Lease by the Bedroom, cayce-sc

[SUMMER 2026 UPDATE BELOW WITH EVEN MORE ATROCITIES] If you’re wondering how they manage the property, this is how the pool has looked for months now. I’ve lived here since 2024 and the pool has only been open a few months this entire time, and currently won’t be open again this year. There are several other housing options in this price range I definitely recommend over this place (for example: The Radley, The Roost, 21 Oaks). This is just one example of a series of unfortunate incidents stemming from their mismanagement, others include: - In October they LET THE ELECTRICITY GET CUT OFF AND MANY TENANTS GROCERIES SPOILED! - Over the summer especially is trash NEVER picked up on time, and it got to the point last year it was attracting stray animals and smelled like rotten food. (photo of the trash is from June 2025) - They’ll schedule quarterly inspections during midterms w/out the ability to make appts and then have the nerve to tell students (majority of their tenants) to go somewhere else to take their online exams. - CONSTANT SHUTTLE DISRUPTIONS- and then without reimbursement for ubers most of the time. This has improved in recent months with their new driver, but it was an issue consistently for 2 years. - Our ex-roommate was charged for damages that STILL have not been even addressed almost a year later- they said it was up to us to keep hounding them if we wanted them fixed in a timely manner. UPDATE: THE GRASS HAS NOT BEEN MOWED SINCE MARCH 2026, AND IT IS NOW JULY 2026; the weeds are several feet tall in some areas. The pool was open for a couple weeks this whole summer before closing again and returning to its health hazardous green lagoon color. The office has barely been open this summer, resulting in package theft and residents being left without a way to reach anyone about apartment issues in a timely manner (for example, several tenants haven’t had A/C all summer). We’ve been through 2 property managers already just this summer, and are currently without management of any kind. This place is the definition of a sinking ship. And as a response to the old property managers reply, when confronted about the illegal nature of her replying about my renewal status (breach of tenant privacy and confidentiality), she did not care. And for the record, the ONLY thing keeping me here is the hassle+costs of moving and the gap between leases in student housing. And as for the issues mentioned that were resolved, the fact that they were allowed to happen in the first place and then persist for months IS the main problem with this place; I agree with allowing grace for issues, but they won’t do anything even if hounded about it. I had an hour long discussion with her about getting previous damages finally repaired, and she made no effort to address them still in the months following before her departure (which was not allowed to be announced, nor was the entire office staff quitting and/or getting fired announced either (idk exactly what happened, and that’s the messed up part, one week suddenly the office was just consistently closed during business hours and it was up to residents to piece together what happened)).

it used to be a good place but not now. Except your room keys nothing works here. the office is alwys close, pool is not working, dishwasher not working, AC has issues, Lights bulbs are never replaced, no one answers the maintainance requests. I wonder whats happening

Advice- sort these reviews from newest first to see what it's really like here. 8 out of 10 of the most recent reviews at my time of posting are 1 or 2 stars. Mostly 1 star. That should paint a picture for you. What you can expect living here: 1) Expect a lot of things to be broken upon moving in. Make sure you document with photos etc. What's more- the maintenance man will take the week of move in off for his vacation to avoid people needing help. 2) The apartments will probably be filthy when you move in- you will have to do a complete and thorough cleaning yourself. 3) Don't trust promises of amenities. Example- pool has been unusable for many months (during peak season). Volley ball court is overgrown with weeds. Appliances are likely broken or in some cases missing. The shuttle does not run as often as told- and right now is not working at all. If you don't have a car, you have no way of getting to class. They will probably tell you a lot of nice things when touring, and show you a model room that is far nicer and in much better condition than what you'll actually rent. There's a very good reason the prices are lower than living on campus and they will try to take advantage of students. They take an unreasonable amount of time to address problems. Also, you can see comments from every year here where people complain, and you might see nice replies from Cayce Cove saying "thank you for the feedback, we've fixed what you complained about"- but then you see someone the next year complaining about the exact same issue Cayce Cove said they were fixing. It shows that they see the feedback, say on the comments here that they're going to fix the problem, but then, never do. This is willful breaking promises on their part.

You're paying almost $900 for a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment, while four-bedroom, two-bath units are around $700 per person—and that doesn't even include the amenities you're supposedly paying for. The pool doesn't work. If they tell you it's open, they're lying. They clean it once in a while, but 90 percent of the time it looks like sherks pond. The tanning room and the room they advertise in the office are never open either. The grass hasn't been cut all summer and i promise you it wont get cut anytime soon. My apartment isn't in good enough condition to justify the price. I'm pretty sure there's mold in the air vents, and there are damages left behind by previous residents that never got fixed. Make sure you take pictures of everything and submit them before you move in, because you'll get charged for pre-existing damage, and they still won't fix it. They may even forget they already charged you for it. The furniture is worn out, they don't replace it. They will charge u on move out day for it. Even though they don't provide many of the amenities they advertise, they still conduct apartment inspections. They expect residents to meet their standards while failing to meet their own. They literally send out a list. They inspect apartments about four times a year, and the inspections are scheduled entirely on their terms, with no flexibility, and they involve fees. Even if you have an online class, an exam, or another commitment where you can't be interrupted, there are no exceptions. Right now, instead of focusing on improving the community and addressing residents' concerns, they're conducting yet another inspection. Safety? Lock ur door, check again, and lock your car. I sometimes experience someone trying to open my front door.

The apartment had substantial appliance issues when moved in, still has not been fixed 2 weeks later. Went to the leasing office and talked to the property manager, he was extremely condescending, talked to me like I was a child, and overly unprofessional. Apartment got flooded from broken washing machine, and emergency hotline said they could not help. Only has one person on the maintenance team. Pool is green. Shuttle randomly shuts down without notice. Do not recommend.
